Walmart to sell iPhone 5s for $189 or iPhone 5c for $79

In a rare twist Walmart will be offering discounts on the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c at launch day. You can pre-order the iPhone 5c starting tomorrow, but you'll have to go to the store to pick it up. The iPhone 5s is only available in store.
The 16GB iPhone 5s will cost $189 at Walmart, $10 less than the official Apple pricing. You'll have to opt for a two-year contract on AT&T, Verizon or Sprint, of course.
The 16GB iPhone 5c gets a $20 price cut and you can have it for just $79 with a two-year contract. The iPhone 5c will be available on pre-order tomorrow, but you'll still have to go to a store personally to sign your contract and then once again to pick up your phone on September 25.
Walmart is also slashing the prices of the older generation iPhones starting tomorrow. The already discontinued iPhone 5 model now costs $79 with a two-year contract until supplies last.
Walmart is also treating Apple's older fleet of iPhones to a discount. As of today, the 16GB iPhone 5 drops in price to $79 from $98. The 8GB and 16GB iPhone 4S now are priced at just 97 cents. And starting September 16, the iPhone 4 will cost you a dime and come with a $100 Walmart gift card. All of those prices naturally require a two-year agreement.
Buyers who prefer an unlocked iPhone can purchase the iPhone 5 for $549 and the iPhone 4 for $349 through Walmart's Straight Talk prepaid plan. Both represent a savings of $100 from the previous price and will be available to customers starting Saturday.
